 sudoku November 1, 2008
I find this game quite a challange. It helps keep your mind more aleart.Your information about the game was very informative, also the price was average.
pretty good! September 26, 2008
I just recently bought this...unfortunately from a store, where it was the original price, I would have much rather paid this price! Anyways, I have never done any sudoku before, and the ease of this product alone has made it an enjoyable experience so far. It is a nice activity when you have some spare time, it is a great size, and looks nice too! Not sure why so many said that it was hard to see, I didn't have that problem? But then again, maybe I got a newer version or something. Mine illuminates, but the illuminate button is on the back, rather than the front, if that helps any.
 Terrible screen causes eye strain September 5, 2008
Sodoku itself is a great, educational game that anyone who enjoys puzzles will love. Unfortunately, this game is very poorly designed and manages to ruin the fun of Sodoku. The game has several problems:
1. The screen is the worst ever! You can't see the numbers except at a certain angle, and the back lighting doesn't really work. This game will strain your eyes and give you a massive head ache.
2. The stylus that comes with the game doesn't seem to work that well. I used a pen and that worked better.
3. The game offers no way to check a certain square. The only error check offered is for the entire board, meaning if you make a mistake but don't want to reveal all the squares, you are out of luck.
4. No way to notate squares. You cannot put a note for possible remaining numbers for any square. This makes solving tougher puzzles really frustrating.
Don't buy this game. It is worthless. Save your money and get a book of puzzles. Your eyes will thank you!
Great Check for Manual Sudoku July 24, 2008
I love this game for checking difficult Sudokus in the newspaper I am having problems with.
 Good Grief look at the price! January 28, 2008
What do you want for 12bucks? I don't know where the high dollar value came from, but I never paid that much for one.
The first one I had was buggy I and sucked the battery down pretty quick, but with the back lighting, I can see well enough to play and the shift to cells AAA if memory serves helped a lot. I love the touch screen and the way the numbers on the bottom clear when you use them all up.
So, for 12 bucks, I think that this is a little winner. I have bought two, only because I lost the first one.
I would like to see it compared against that 70 buck NYT monster.
Finally, I don't see any of these sudoku puzzles having much, if any, educational value, hence the one star in that area.
